Types of Rehabilitation Therapies We Offer

Feeding therapy is a specialized kind of therapy designed to help infants and children with issues that impact their ability to drink, chew, swallow or use their lips, tongue or jaw. In addition to helping children find strategies to deal with structural or functional issues, feeding therapy can also help kids develop healthier eating habits, overcome anxieties related to eating or address sensory issues that might make it hard for a child to handle certain flavors or textures.


Common Conditions

Our dedicated pediatric rehab team works collaboratively to help children diagnosed with a wide variety of issues that can impact movement, the senses or overall health. Common conditions we treat include:

Congenital Anomalies

Also known as birth defects, these are issues with the body that develop before a person is born. These can be structural issues, like a cleft lip or heart valve defect, or issues that keep the body from functioning the way it should.

Developmental Delays

Developmental delays occur when a child develops at a slower pace than what is normally expected for their age. Functions that can be impacted by developmental delays include motor skills that help a child move with precision, speech, social skills and cognitive abilities.

Prematurity

Prematurity, also called being born premature, occurs when a baby is born before the 37th week of pregnancy. Because the organs of premature infants didn't have as much time to develop in the womb, these babies often have health challenges, including breathing difficulties, vision problems, jaundice and other issues.
